Armasight is excited to introduce its latest and most technologicallyadvanced family of Predator thermal imaging weapon sights to thesporting, law enforcement, and military markets. The Predator productline is based on the latest FLIR Tau 2 VOx microbolometer core. Eachmodel of the line has optimizing performance, price, andstate-of-the-art technology for a variety of uses and missionapplications ranging from the seriously committed hunter to the militarydesignated marksman. While primarily designed as a weapon scope, thePredator functions equally well in its collateral assignments as amagnified spotting scope or handheld thermal imager.
The Predator is a solid state, uncooled, long-wave infrared, magnifieddedicated weapon scope intended for day and night engagements withoutthe need to remove the sight from the rifle. The 24/7 mission capabilityis just one of its many strengths. Thermal imaging technology alsoallows you to detect targets by cutting through snow, dust, smoke, fog,haze, and other atmospheric obscurants. Unlike the use of lasertargeting or near-infrared illumination to augment Night Visionequipment, the Predator thermal imaging weapon sight is extremelydifficult to detect with other devices, as it emits novisible light or RF energy.
In addition to being the smallest and lightest in their class, Predatorthermal imaging weapon sights are characterized by their simple andintuitive controls, functions, and features that are layered amongdirect button adjustments, direct combination button functions, andelectronic menu selections. This “layering” of easy-to-understandcontrol functions provides the operator with a framework for customizinghis preferences and exploiting the robust variety of setting optionsavailable in the Predator. The Predator has a series of selectable colormodes based on a rich, upgradeable software package.A wireless remote switch is included to activate the Predator thermalimaging weapon sight when positioned in the “standby” mode. The Predatorhas the ability to record videos with optional Digital Video Recorderand is also equipped with a video-outcapability in operator selectable NTSC or PAL formats. The Predator usesthe same multipin connector to provide video-in imagery, where there isa need for map or rangefinder display overlays, and external poweraccess.
Predator weapon installation is easy, repeatable, and reliable based on aunique and highly user-friendly MIL-STD-1913/ Weaver/ Picatinnyrail-compatible, quick-release locking mechanism. The solid statetechnology and software algorithms, combined with a complementary colorreticle platform, ensures maximum reticle contrast, highlevel targetaccuracy, and boresight retention that cannot be achieved withmechanical boresight adjusters and traditional ballistic drums. Thislevel of accuracy is translated into the electronic zoom (e-zoom)function of the Predator thermal imaging weapon sights,which can be progressively increased from 1x to 2x and 4x, withoutchanging the pointof-aim to point of-impact relationship of thetargeting reticle.
The Predator thermal imaging weapon sight represents one of the mostsophisticated sighting devices available in today’s market to hunters,SWAT teams, and military personnel, due to its superiorprice-to-performance value.

Smart Scene Optimization (SSO) – a fine-tuning computational correction that significantly improves an overall visual acuity for targets that have thermal signatures similar to a surrounding background.

User Controlled Manual Non Uniformity Correction/Flat-Field Correction (UCMNUC/FFC). There is a mechanical shutter between the camera sensor and the lens. This shutter is used to perform a non-uniformity correction (NUC) also known as flat-field correction (FFC. During FFC, the shutter presents a uniform temperature source to each detector element in the array. While imaging the flat-field source, the camera updates the offset correction coefficients, resulting in a more uniform image after the process is complete. All Zeus models allow for user to manually trigger or interrupt scheduled UCMNUC/FFC function.
